ORLANDO, Fla. - New information has surfaced about the violent past of the man who has been named as the primary suspect in the disappearance of an Orlando mother.

::snipping2::

Police say Smith was among a gang of seven people, mostly teens, that were looking for a fight over Memorial Day weekend, 1992. The gang jumped two men as they were leaving a nightclub in downtown Orlando and one of the men was stabbed to death, police said.

Smith was never accused of the stabbing, but the victim's brother says he believes Smith was the leader of the gang.

Smith was 20 years old when Bryan Tileston, 22, was killed.

"For whatever reason, I don't know, but two carloads of guys decided to jump him (Bryan Tileston) and his buddy," Tileston's brother, Tommy Tileston, said.

Tommy Tileston and others in the gang said Smith was the first person to get out of the cars.

Tommy Tileston said he immediately thought Parker was in trouble when he heard Smith was the last person to see her alive.

Bryan Tileston's murder shook downtown Orlando. His friends and family held a vigil and sought a curfew for teens.

"They (Smith's and his friends) had already planned to go downtown and to cause problems and get somebody and my brother and his friend happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," Tommy Tileston said.

The 16-year-old friend of Smith's who actually stabbed Bryan Tileston was sentenced to 22 years in prison for second-degree murder.

Smith pleaded no contest to attempted aggravated battery for kicking Bryan Tileston's friend in the head. He spent six months in the county jail before successfully completing his probation and having an adjudication of guilt withheld.

Despite his outcome with the courts, Tommy Tileston says he has no doubt that Smith led the pack that killed his brother.

"They all turned on each other, and they all said, 'Dale. Dale. Dale.'" Tommy Tileston said.

Smith's lawyer, Mark NeJame, declined to comment and Orlando police have not said why they consider Smith a suspect in Parker's disappearance.

I hope this situation gets worked out. Michelle's family needs to spend time with those little ones. Keeping them away must feel like they've lost all of them. Just like Yvonne said.....it feels like a morgue at the home. Dale and his family have no reason to keep the twins from MP's family. If anything, it casts more doubt on the entire Smith family. Something is wrong with that family......they may be like the Anthonys, imo.

I hope to God the media reports sensibly instead of sensationalizing bc alot of states don;t have grandparent's rights laws anymore. NANCY GRACE, could you please find out if this is the case in Florida? If so, maybe Michelle's family could be advised what to say on record vs off records bc what would happen if Dale goes to jail & his parents get the twins? They could cut off all visitation with any member of Michelle's family is Florida doesn't have a grandparent's law informing such is their rights.

Here's a scary thought: Michelle is missing. How long does she have to be missing and Dale not be in jail before full custody is given to Dale? If Dale sees he could be going to jail and Michelle still isn;t found, he could sign over his twins to his parents. If that ends up being the case, heaven help those twins and all that love them. So personally, I believe the media should shut their fricken mouths when it comes to Michelle's family and how they feel right now. The media needs to back the he!! up and concentrate on Michelle, especially when the wellfare of the twins are concerned.

Nancy Grace, now's your opportunity to shine again. Please don't sensationalize. Please be different from other networks. Please start doing live broadcasts again, so as the timing and the information is correct and not late news. You are a victim's advocate. Please show that again, the way you did in the beginning of Caylee Anthony's disappearance. Please. There are innocent little lives involved here. Michelle and her family deserve better than what the media is doing right now. Please put this family in contact with somebody strong, somebody more than just an ambulance chaiser, somebody that knows family law as well as wrongful death laws and penalties. Sure this outfit is good, but how good are they really when you get to the nitty gritty? This could be big and highly sensitive, encompassing years and other victims. Please please please put this family in contact with a good cutthroat prosecutorial firm. Please.
